Moore's Quality Earthmoving, Inc.

Moore's Quality Earthmoving, Inc., doing business as Firecat, is a woman-owned small disadvantaged business that provides heavy equipment rental, operation, and wildfire suppression services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and the National Interagency Fire Center exclusively as a prime contractor. The company operates across multiple Forest Service regions nationwide through total small business set-asides on indefinite delivery contracts and delivery orders issued under the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system.

Firecat is headquartered in Cañon City, Colorado, with operational bases in Pineville, Louisiana and other regional locations. Structured as a self-certified Subchapter S corporation, the company is minority-owned and woman-owned under SBA classifications. Firecat competes exclusively under total small business set-asides; no general-and-open competition appears in its prime award footprint.

The vendor's service portfolio centers on heavy equipment operation and rental for forest management and emergency response. Firecat operates dozers, excavators, water tenders, chippers, skidders, feller bunchers, mulchers, road graders, and transporters, supported by trained and certified personnel. Representative work includes a $1.37 million delivery order from the Intermountain Region (Region 4) in July 2024 for heavy equipment services in Salmon, Idaho; a $387 thousand delivery order for earthmoving services in Salmon, Idaho, awarded August 4, 2022, by the Intermountain Region; and a $166.8 thousand delivery order from the Southwestern Region in May 2024 for heavy equipment services in Taos, New Mexico. Recent awards span excavation, grading, water handling, equipment operation, and suppression support across fire suppression, fuels reduction, and land management programs.

Customer concentration is heavily concentrated in two Forest Service entities that together account for 94 percent of combined potential value. The National Interagency Fire Center leads by potential value with 73 awards worth $13.2 million combined, followed by the Rocky Mountain Region (Region 2) with 92 awards worth $4.4 million. The Intermountain Region (Region 4), Southwestern Region (Region 3), and regional Forest Service offices round out the active set. The divergence between award counts and dollar value reflects larger individual orders anchored by the National Interagency Fire Center's blanket purchase agreements against smaller delivery orders in the Rocky Mountain Region.

Firecat holds extensive positioning on Forest Service VIPR Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement (I-BPA) indefinite delivery contracts. The vendor sits on 29 named IDVs, each valued at $250,000 to $750,000, covering heavy equipment, water handling, chippers, vehicle-with-driver services, and miscellaneous equipment across East Zone regions (Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9) and West Zone regions (Regions 3, 5, 6, 8, and 10). The five highest-activity vehicles by task-order count are 1202SB23T7454 (30 task orders, $1.3 million combined potential value), 1202SB22T7431 (24 task orders, $980 thousand), 1282X920T7032 (24 task orders, $1.2 million), 1282X919T7054 (22 task orders, $796 thousand), and 12837119T7048 (14 task orders, $617 thousand). Most recent awards were added in February 2026, extending contract ceilings through May 2030.

Activity has remained steady across five years at 16 to 36 awards annually, with 32 awards in 2026 year-to-date through August, 16 in 2025, and 30 in 2024. The vendor carries no sub-award exposure; Firecat operates as a 100 percent prime contractor with no subcontracting history in the source. NAICS representation is concentrated in Support Activities for Forestry (248 awards), with PSC codes dominated by Natural Resources/Conservation-Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression (227 awards). Combined potential value across all 257 awards stands at $24.1 million, with $10.1 million obligated to date (42 percent).
